It should not have been called a rolling release. It is not a rolling
release in the sense that many Linux distributions use it.

I don't know what that means. No. It will not be like Win 10 in pretty much
every way.

It is not a beta release.

Maybe. But I think it has more in common than you think

No. In many cases, CentOS Stream will provide a stable system for the needs
of individuals. In many other cases, upcoming low- and no-cost RHEL programs
will address many of these needs. As an individual, you can already get RHEL
with no cost through the Developer Program, although it isn't as easy as it
could be and usage is limited. The upcoming plans are intended to address
those problems. It's unfortunate that the timing is such that those aren't
anything but future promises at this point, but they are coming. See
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/faq-centos-stream-updates#Q10 and email
centos-questions@xxxxxxxxxx with your specific needs. That address goes to
real people who are working on these programs, not sales or anything like
that.
